46/21: 46 Million Slaves- 21st Century Slavery

I am very honored to be a part of this powerful show. The opening is tonight Sept. 10 from 5pm-8pm at the Mammal Gallery in downtown Atlanta.

The Women's Caucus for Art of Georgia has put together this juried show for Artist's standing for an end to modern day slavery.

I have two pieces in the show and have one piece featured on the postcard and used for publicity for this important issue.

The opening is at the Mammal Gallery here in Atlanta, Ga and there will be panel discussions from experts in the field who dedicate their lives to stopping this horrible situation.

CNN did a great story on the show I recommend you watch it to get more educated.
